/* ==========================================================================
   EMPLOYAI — Design System (brand rebuild)
   Palette:  primary #121212 near-black / accent #C9F31D signature lime
   NOTE:     --employai-primary / --employai-accent are the canonical brand
             tokens (see section 2 of the brand brief) — --primary/--accent/
             --secondary/--white are aliased to them below so the existing
             component system (buttons, nav, cards, icon tiles) rethemes
             centrally instead of being hand-edited per component.
             --primary / --secondary hex values must stay in sync with the
             @theme block in assets/css/tailwind.css (Tailwind entry for new UI).
   Usage:    --primary is the dominant dark brand surface (text on light
             sections, dark section backgrounds, primary buttons, footer).
             --accent (#C9F31D) is reserved for hover/active/selected states,
             highlights and CTA emphasis — NOT a page-wide wash. --secondary
             aliases --accent, since every existing "active/selected/hover
             highlight" component in this codebase already used --secondary
             for exactly that role.
   Fonts:    Bricolage Grotesque (display) / Hanken Grotesk (body) / IBM Plex Mono (data)

/* ==========================================================================
   Gradient section-heading system — global, reusable, applied to major H2s
   (and h1 where a hero treatment fits). Two rules kept it out of "rainbow
   text" territory:
   1. The gradient runs dark→lime→dark (light sections) or light→lime→light
      (dark sections) — lime is a MIDPOINT accent, not the base text color,
      so most of each letter still sits at full contrast against its section.
   2. The one emphasized word per heading (.section-highlight) does NOT
      reuse the gradient's transparent-fill trick: #C9F31D as flat text on
      the site's ivory/white sections fails contrast outright (~1.2:1), so
      on light headings it renders as a lime "marker" chip with dark text
      instead. On dark headings (.grad-heading--on-dark) lime is already
      high-contrast as plain text, so it stays a plain solid-lime word.
